got these fun paper clips that made my day from a sweet friend…it reminded me of FRUIT STRIPE GUM, which made me even happier. when i was little i would return bottles and cans from my house to buy candy from the bodega, since food stamps would not cover candy. (that’s when food stamps were paper and i called them “foreign money”). the gum had exotic flavors, although it only lasted for 3 minutes. i would go through 1 pack a day…oh, youth!

You can buy these at the Economy Candy store on Rivington St. in the Lower Eastside. Whenever I’m in the area, I pop into the store and stock up on a few of them… if only the flavor was everlasting…

I definitely tweeted about this some days ago AND I have a pack right now,lol. Went to the gas station and had some other gum in hand but once I saw that striped package I spazzed out. Couldn’t leave without it. Rare sighting…I’ll be saving the wrapper.
